Single field rotor motor

Abstract

An electric motor having a single field rotor wherein the flux within the rotor is generated by magnetic means located at the end regions of the motor housing such that the flux within the motor rotor maintains a constant polarity.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention pertains to a single field rotor motor wherein a minimum of alternating flux fields in the total flux circuit of the motor that produces the motor torque are created. The result is that the creation of a non-reversing flux field in a major portion of the stator and rotor parts creates less losses and produces greater efficiency in the overall motor operation. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART [0002] In typical electric motor construction and theory, alternating flux fields are created, and various systems are utilized to unbalance these flux fields so that a rotation of the motor rotor would occur. Reversing flux fields are created in conventional electric motor devices, and because of the necessity to overcome non-work flux fields, the efficiency of the motor is adversely affected. Over the years, various structural and theoretical systems have been produced in the electric motor art to overcome such conventional inefficiencies, but heretofo...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0003] It is known that if the area within an electric motor where the alternating flux used in the motor stator is kept small, increased efficiency will be experienced, as there is less metal mass involved in the alternating flux area, and the flux paths that are being alternated are shorter, and therefore, less core losses occur than in a motor where larger areas of the total flux torque circuit are alternated.

Problems solved by technology

Reversing flux fields are created in conventional electric motor devices, and because of the necessity to overcome non-work flux fields, the efficiency of the motor is adversely affected.

Over the years, various structural and theoretical systems have been produced in the electric motor art to overcome such conventional inefficiencies, but heretofore, electric motor efficiencies have not been high, especially in fractional horsepower motors, commonly not reaching better than 50% at best, and known electric motors are inefficient in converting electrical to mechanical energy.
